Hello. I am looking for clips and flex conduit for the wire bundle going. Across the top front of my ody.

I'm pretty sure I can get the conduit from any parts house. It's just that I don't know what those front clips are called and I'd like to know the part number when I walk into the dealership. I got a feeling because their dealer parts that they were more than likely be overpriced for what they are.



Should I even sweat this?

Please see attached pictures

You can wrap the wires in aluminum foil, electrical tape, pretty much anything, or just go buy some conduit.

Conduit is easy part. I'm looking for those clips. It'd be really neat if I had the part number.

You can get the convoluted tubing anywhere and if you don't want to call your local Honda dealer for a price on those clips you can just use zip ties.

Be missing something, but I don't see a good way to put zip ties on that. I guess I could go to home Depot and get some of those zip tie mounts that have stickem on the back of them.

They won't hold for long.

Remove a clip and take it as a sample to the parts department. They sometimes know small hardware by sight more than by part #.

PS: They look good in the pics?

Those clips are zip ties. They don’t look broken. If you release the little locking tab underneath you should be able to undo it and reuse. A dental hygienist would have those undone in a few seconds

they are easy to get at so that’s a bonus. I just worked loose two holding my negative cable beside the battery tray. That was an effort.

I have a loom everywhere except where that connector is. Maybe intentional or maybe it broke. Jip ties along the length of those wires would keep them together pretty tight and that’s half the battle.

if you want extra protection or that factory look that only you will see. Split loom 😀

Wire loom (or split loom as Frontporch posted) is what you're looking for. I think flexible conduit is stiffer. The wire loom can slip over the wires without disconnecting them, most conduit at the hardware store will have you pull the wiring into the conduit.
I wouldn't hesitate purchasing a short length of loom from fleabay or amazoom- but from a US supplier. Try undoing the clips- either you can get them open or they break. The replacement clips may be quite reasonable from your local dealer.

Oh heck- I see now that Harbor Freight has 3/8" x10' wire loom for only 3 bucks!

"Wire loom". I didn't know that's what the covering was called. I'm an electrical contractor by trade. Anything that houses wires I always refer to as "conduit"

I'd like to know the part number when I walk into the dealership.

People often say this or similar things.

Can anyone give me a reason why you don't want to let the parts person earn the outrageous price you are going to be charged? I just don't get it.

Can I get those zip tie clips that we are talking about in this thread) aftermarket?

I would venture to think that something that my new there wouldn't be a huge price difference in aftermarket (if aftermarket is actually available) and dealer parts.

Considering the age of my vehicle and the mileage, if it were something bigger say the nature of a rack and pinion or a starter, then I would definitely go aftermarket.

why not just undo them.? Zip ties in general are cheap and you snip them off but you could also save zip ties by unlocking them if you didn’t have a replacement handy

For a zip tie to work and that application you have to have a place to fasten. There's only one hole. Where that clip goes in. For that to work, you have to have a hold for the zip bed time to go in a hole for the zip tie to come out that way can make a complete loop.

 

[Frontporch]

What I am trying to say is the fastener is a zip tie that can be undone

And the part I could not get free from the radiator support probably has a base like this

If I had the part number, then maybe I could get it cross reference.

Like I stayed in in another post, I would think something that my new there wouldn't be a huge price difference between dealer part and aftermarket (aftermarket actually available).

How would I find out what size convoluted tube I need?

I also want to make sure the convoluted to that I use is sturdy. I wouldn't be so picky if it wasn't under the hood.

Wanting the P/N to look for aftermarket or alternatives makes perfect sense to me. But that wasn't what I asked about (because it didn't make sense), which was your wanting to have the P/N when you walk into the dealer. I do my comparison shopping from the comfort of my home, not sitting in the dealer's waiting area or standing at the parts counter.

But if that's what works for you......your car, your $, your time, so your call.

I'm going to cross reference part numbers if I can find the part numbers.

Considering the age and the mileage on my van, it doesn't make any sense to get OEM

Look what I found!!!😃😃😃.

Something to the nature of what's in this link.

Just don't know if this is a good brand name or garbage. If somebody can recommend a better brand name for the exact same thing, I'm all ears..
